COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 15, 2021

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Area Committee request that South Dublin County Council work with the Library Section to display a full-color, high-resolution image of the Clondalkin Fragment prominently in Brú Chrónáin and also a picture of Local deceased Historian Joe Williams."

REPORT:

The Fragment is held by a library in Karlsruhe in Germany (scan of it available here: http://www.mira.ie/072), libraries could help with obtaining the high resolution scan.  However, space is very limited on the site. If a picture of local historian Joe Williams is provided, we can look at hanging it in the Round Tower.  SDCC County Promotions Unit will consider the fragment for a potential temporary exhibition at the Round Tower Visitor Centre in due course, subject to funding.
